Can I use this oil on my face as well, or is it only for the body?

KEHAMASSAAŽI ÕLI "ROHELINE TEE" 250ML
Question about the product KEHAMASSAAŽI ÕLI "ROHELINE TEE" 250ML €8.83 Go to product

This product is described specifically as a body massage oil, so it is intended for the skin of the body, not the face. The safety note says external use only and warns to avoid the eye area, which would rule out most facial use in practice. Facial skin is thinner and more sensitive than body skin, and a product with botanical extracts such as green tea may feel fine on the arms or back but still be too stimulating on the face.

If you want a massage oil for the face, choose a product that is explicitly labelled for facial use and formulated for that area. A body oil will generally feel heavier on the face, and you would have a hard time avoiding the eye contour, where this product should not be applied. If you still decide to try it on the face, do a patch test on the jawline or behind the ear 24 hours in advance, and stop at the first sign of redness, stinging or irritation.

The green tea extract gives a lightly toning and refreshing effect on the skin surface, but that characteristic does not make the oil a facial care product. Keeping it for body massage and using a dedicated facial product on the face is the safer approach.
